Life's a journey, with many unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes we need someone to talk to, someone to share our thoughts and feelings, dreams and fears, and help guide us toward resolution. I want to help my clients navigate this path, and to also experience the possibilities of living their best life possible. I work with older teens and adults, and also specialize in women's issues across the lifespan, as well as those with health concerns. College students are a special interest, as are educators, as I’ve worked as a teacher and school counselor and understand the stress and dynamics associated with the profession.

I help clients heal from trauma, navigate relationships with themselves and others, and explore sexual identities and interests in kink/BDSM.
You've always been the "strong one", right? Maybe you’re feeling stuck and overwhelmed because past experiences are blocking you from fully connecting with others, and most importantly, yourself. Maybe you’re hiding sexual or kinky desires and feel lost in how to share these with your partner(s) or even accept them yourself. Maybe you just need someone to vent to. That’s ok! You have taken the most courageous step by asking for help, and that is exactly where I will meet you.

Some people show up to therapy after years of shrinking themselves to fit somewhere they never quite belonged. My clients are often queer, non binary, or navigating identity, relationships, or self-worth in ways the world has not always made room for. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout tend to be part of the picture too. My approach is queer-empowering and feminist, and the relationship we build matters more than any technique. My team and I show up real, consistent, and honest, so you can finally exhale.

I am sex and sex work positive and kink and polyamory affirming and knowledgeable.
I'm a queer therapist specializing in work with the LGBTQ+ community. My approach to therapy is warm, down to earth, and collaborative. Therapy can be difficult at times, but it can also be a space for curiosity, play, and laughter. The best therapy is a place where you are able to bring your full range of emotions and all of yourself. As someone who has definitely wondered if feeling your feelings is really necessary, I understand how difficult it can be to sit with uncomfortable or frightening emotions. Together we can create a space that is safe enough and strong enough to hold whatever it is you might be experiencing.

Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists
Why might an individual want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
A sex-positive or kinky individual may want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist because the client may feel safer and more supported discussing their experiences and challenges. A therapist who identifies as kink-friendly will have experience with clients having diverse sexual preferences and will likely be nonjudgmental and supportive about issues brought to the table. It is important to note that sex-positive, kink-allied individuals may find equal success with therapists who do not have such specialized knowledge and background. The most important factor in the success of therapy is for the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond.

Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in sex-positive, kink-allied treatment?
Generally, no. There are limited training programs and unofficial accreditations that therapists can pursue, but a therapist’s expertise will ultimately come from their previous experience with similar clients, their engagement with organizations that promote sex positivity or kink-allied lifestyles, and the importance they place on safety and cultural sensitivity.

How can individuals recognize a good sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
An experienced therapist is able to help clients explore their sexual identity and expression and relieve any discomfort or stigma attached to discussing such matters and the client’s overall challenges. A therapist who is sex-positive and kink-allied is able to create an environment that honors a client’s experience and sexual preferences. To recognize a good therapist, clients can simply ask directly about topics and issues important to them and gauge their comfort level and connection with a clinician based on the responses.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist with a focus on sex positivity and alternative sexual lifestyles?
Some individuals may feel most comfortable knowing that the clinician they’re working with has a commitment to creating an atmosphere of sex positivity and has experience with relationship diversity and alternative relationship structures. Working with a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist may help clients respect their own challenges and improve identity-affirming treatment.
